stevej60 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Hi folk's had this in the stash for a few months after picking it up on e-bay for I think £15,now surpassed by Airfix's new tool series not on most peoples radar when wanting to build a Wellington but apart from the overdone fabric effect and the fact I've always liked but never built a Wellington here goes! Some nice detailing in the kit and some excellent references here on BM and a few magazine articles I have should make it fun. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 Hi folk's,I'm not a great one for research I tend to look for a build and reference that,I have a copy of MAI with a build of this kits 1/48 brother so whatever errors the builder made I've mirrored. He patiently painted the basketweave detail I just heavily dry brushed in Tamiya silver. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Nice start Steve, got some Wellingtons in the stash too, but not built one yet. Must rectify that soon but so many kits and so little time!!! Great work Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Evening folks,I thought it time for an update,those wing fittings better work as I've gone down the route of fully finishing the fuselage first and completing the wings to add later.I now need to matt coat the fuselage now the decals are on. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Looks to be a scale down of the 1/48 kit. Mine went together nicely. Just be careful you don't snap the gun barrels off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
